Thanks!

I saw where they gave RWHP numbers, but they were for a Hemi powered truck. Anybody know what kind of RWHP gains I would see if I went with this turbo setup?

Thanks my brother, I'm very proud of it. I'm sure it won't be long and your ride will be a beast as well.

One can only hope. LOL. You already got a huge weight difference from me. So, I doubt I will ever have anything that could run with your truck. LOL.

Guys, just wanted to clear up something. I stated earlier in this thread that the 7.0L was the 392 I had pictured. That's not entirely true. The 7.0L is not a 392, but a 426. Sorry, for the confusion. LOL.

In case any of you are interested I got a guy who gets Mopar engines, whether they are stock or aftermarket, for wholesale. Just thought you all might like to know. So, if any of you guys blow up your "Hemi's" they only cost like $1500. So, you don't have to pay the retail of 5K, I think? I may be wrong on that. I'll check and get back to you. I know the 426 Hemi that i'm interested in only cost around 7-8K. It's a 15K engine retail. So, figure a price of half of retail. Maybe more.

Anyways guys, just thought you all might like to know that.

A used 5.7-Hemi Motor w/ 5-speed aren't as much as some might think.You can get a good used combo on ebay for around $2,000.-$2,500.00. That's about the same amount it will cost to give a 4.7 the same horsepower.If you find a Hemi,I'll install it for around $750.00. Wiring not included.Check out my truck ,"Dakota Hemi Swap" with pictures. It's on this sight. Thanks...
